| Popis: | Among 80 patients with tissue-confirmed sarcoidosis attending the sarcoidosis clinic of the Mount Sinai Hospital, electrocardiographic abnormalities of varying degree were noted in 41 patients, despite the fact that these patients were entirely without cardiac complaints and exhibited no evidence of previous or current cardiac disease on thorough examination. All these patients were under 40 years of age. The ECG alterations included repolarization abnormalities and alterations in rhythm and conduction. Because of the potential hazards of some of these abnormalities, prospective studies are being undertaken to determine which of them may represent precursors of dangerous intrinsic cardiac sarcoidosis. |
